After just a short search to try to come up with some numbers, I find that between 60% and 90% of internet DNS servers are running bind.

- Milpotel 11mo agoBold statement just one month after the last cache poisoning vulnerability. Bind is the Microsoft Windows of DNS servers - a lot of users and bugs nonetheless the go-to for many admins because that's what they are most familiar with. And similar to Windows, the internet mostly relies on others - none of the big companies (Meta, Cloudflare, Google, MS, Amazon, Netflix, Twitter...) use bind and neither do most hobbyists. It's just for the plethora of mid-sized companies with unmotivated admins.
